Light, durable and tough enough to take a run-in with the reef, the Wavefarer Board Shorts are the foundation of our board short collection. Now with a slightly trimmer silhouette through the thigh, seat and leg, they’re the ultimate go-anywhere, do-anything surf trunks. Made of a quick-drying 3.9-oz Supplex nylon (38% recycled) with 50+ UPF sun protection and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish, they feature a natural fit and 3-piece, self-lined waistband that contours to the hip. The forward inseam helps eliminate chafing in the water, and the flat-lying fly with single rubber button is optimized for comfort while paddling. Closure is a bartacked ladderlock drawstring for security and durability. Self-draining thigh pocket has a noncorroding plastic zipper, internal key loop and added zipper pull for ease of use. Outseam is 21".

Durable and quick-drying Supplex nylon, with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish

I am about 6ft tall and wear a waist sized 32'-33' depending on brand. I ordered the short in waist size 32' and they're still pretty big in the waist. Also they're a little longer than I expected from considering the inseam/outseam length. Overall though a really nice pair of board shorts and made with exceptional quality. Maybe I should just gain some weight.

Purchased these shorts for summer whitewater kayaking. I like the fact that they dry amazingly fast and are almost completely dry by the time I reach the end of a shuttle on the Ocoee. The only drawback I see is the fact that I would personally like a few more pockets. As always, great patagonia quality...

These board shorts look and feel great. They fit well for me (32 inch waist is true to size). Love the styling. There is no Velcro to get in the way and there is relatively nothing that can go wrong with them on long trips.
